#uraboku

This
anime has a long title, so I choose to mention it with the shorter name (X3). I
accidentally come across this anime while looking for… *cough* … yaoi’s anime (okay
I’ve said it). Actually, I always like stories about relationship between boys.
I mean not always in sexual interest like lovers. But, such as brothers,
friends, father and son, cousins, any relations that show affections between
boys. I always wonder why boys can’t freely show their feeling like girls do.
I’m sure there are times when boys care about each other. And that’s what makes
me interested with the story about relationships between them (X3).

Sate…

Uraboku
is a manga series that has been brought up as anime series. It has 24 episodes.
But like any other anime, the story didn’t end at the anime. Until now, the
manga still continues.

Uraboku
tells about Sakurai Yuki, a young scholar with strange ability. He can know
someone’s past by touching them. Yuki lives in an orphanage and since he’s
going to graduate, he has to leave the place. One of his friends at the
orphanage, Kanata, has been helping him to look for places to live. Growing up
together, Yuki always think Kanata as his big brother.

The
truth then reveal, Yuki one of the Zweilt clan member. His power gives him the
name “God of Light”. The Zweilts have fight continuously from their previous
life and carried the memory with them, except for Yuki who seem doesn’t have
any memories of his past life. Yuki can only sense that he feels he recognize
the mansion where he’ll be living with the other Zweilts. Yuki was surprised to
know he was a girl on his previous life. And he still doesn’t know that also in
his previous life, he and Luka were lovers *big grin here*. But, even though
Yuki doesn’t remember anything, Luka keeps telling Yuki that he will always
stay at Yuki’s side and won’t ever betray him.

Tohko once wonder why Yuki had been born as a male this time. Tachibana said that
maybe it’s a sign that the fighting will be over. But Luka has another opinion,
it’s because Yuki wanted to forget his previous life. And the wishes came true
by him being born again as a male. Shusei also has his own opinion. By being a
male, now the Zweilts have the same chance to get close to him. Apparently when
Yuki being a girl, he was treated like a princess that the Zweilts hardly can
get talk with. Being a male, Yuki can easily interact with anyone. *I seriously
don’t know where that opinion came from*

Because
of his power, Yuki has always been the target of killing. The Zweilts are
always ready to fight for him. And when they were hurt in battle, Yuki will
always heal them with his power. But by doing so, it would exhaust him and if
he’s over doing it, he would collapse. The fact saddens the Zweilts and made
them promised not to fight carelessly so Yuki don’t have to use his healing
power.

During
one battle, Shusei was kidnapped. Yuki, Luka, and Hotsuma (Shusei’s partner)
come to the rescue. After saving Shusei, the group meets an expected person, the
leader of the demons that has been hunting Yuki down, Reiga. Yuki surprised when
Reiga truly identity reveal. Reiga is Kanata. Yuki’s heart breaks into pieces
when Reiga (Kanata) said that he will going to kill Yuki. The shocked and with
the tiredness over the battle made Yuki collapsed and sleep for two days. But,
even though Reiga said he’s going to kill Yuki and that he has abandon himself
as Kanata that Yuki had known, Reiga has done action in order to save Yuki’s
life who’s extremely exhausted after over using of his power. The action made
the Zweilts wonder if Reiga still have the conscious as Kanata. But even that
become a fact, Yuki has decide to keep fighting even though he has to fight
against Kanata aka Reiga.

The anime ends there but the manga still continues. I
heard that another pair of the Zweilts will be showing up. I’m hoping for
second season for this anime. I like it!! (x3).

At
first I was thinking that Kanata and Luka is the same person. I didn’t realize
the voice differences between the two *baka*. It annoys me when Yuki keep
saying, “gomen nasai” and “arigatou”. Luka is also always asking Yuki’s
condition. Aren’t they bored? Maybe Yuki keeps saying that because he doesn’t
want to trouble anyone. And Luka doing it because he doesn’t want to see Yuki
get hurt. But, for me it’s annoying…

I
eventually become to like Yuki, but after I watched the whole anime and found
how annoying he was by keep saying those two words, I then turn to Tsukumo
(^^). Tsukumo is cool, kind, caring, innocent looking, awesome shooting skill,
quiet, and love to eat snacks! He’s funny in some kind of way (X3). My favorite
pair is of course Tsukumo with his sister, Tohko-chan. I love watching the two sibling’s
interaction.

And
every time I watched the interaction between Yuki-Luka; Shusei-Hotsuma;
Shusei-Yuki; Hotsuma-Yuki; Tsukumo-Yuki; and Takashiro-Yuki, I just feel this
strange chill all over my body (XD). They all love Yuki!! And who’s the one
Yuki mostly loved? I do hope Luka (X3).
